The IQ plus 2100 digital bench scale consists of an IQ
plus 210 digital weight indicator and an RL2100 bench
scale. The indicator can be mounted to the bench scale
using the 12-inch column or the attachment bracket, or
can be separately mounted on the tilt stand.

The IQ plus 210 is a single-channel digital weight
indicator housed in a NEMA 4X/IP66-rated stainless
steel enclosure. The indicator front panel consists of a
large (.8 in, 20 mm), six-digit, seven-segment LED
display, seven LED annunciators, and two piezo
switches used to zero the scale and select the displayed
units. Features include:

Ω

• Drives up to four 350

• Supports 4- and 6-wire load cell connections

•Two configurable digital inputs

• Single serial port supports full duplex, RS-232
communications at up to 9600 bps

•Available in 115 VAC and 230 VAC versions

load cells

The RL2100 bench scale is available in the following
configurations:

• 5, 10, and 25 lb (2.5, 5, and 10 Kg) capacities with a
10" x 10" (25cm x 25cm) platform

• 50 and 100 lb (25 and 50 Kg) capacities with a 12" x
12" (30cm x 30cm) platform

The RL1042 anodized aluminum load cell is standard
in the RL2100 bench scale; the RL1380 stainless steel
load cell is available as an option. A stainless steel
clamshell enclosure is also available for load cell
protection.

1.1 Operating Modes

The IQ plus 210 has two modes of operation:

Normal (weighing) mode

Normal mode is the “production” mode of the
indicator. The indicator displays the gross weight,
and the LED annunciators described on page 2
indicate scale status and the type of weight value
displayed. Once configuration is complete and a
legal seal is affixed to the back of the indicator, this
is the only mode in which the IQ plus 210 can
operate.

Setup mode

Most of the procedures described in this manual
require the indicator to be in setup mode, including
configuration and calibration.
To enter setup mode, remove the large fillister head
screw from the enclosure backplate. Insert a
screwdriver or a similar tool into the access hole
and press the setup switch once. The indicator
display changes to show the word

2.0 Setup and Service Information

This section describes setup and service procedures for the IQ plus 2100 digital bench scale, including installation
and maintenance information, replacement parts lists, and assembly drawings. See Sections 2.1 through 2.5 for IQ
plus 210 indicator information; see Sections 6.6 and 6.7 for bench scale information.

2.1 Enclosure Disassembly

The indicator enclosure must be opened to connect
cables after replacing the load cell, or when connecting
serial communications cables or digital inputs to the
scale.

The IQ plus 210 has no on/off switch.

Warning

Caution

• Use a wrist strap to ground yourself and protect
components from electrostatic discharge (ESD)
when working inside the indicator enclosure.

• This unit uses double pole/neutral fusing which
could create an electric shock hazard. Procedures
requiring work inside the indicator must be
performed by qualified service personnel only.

• The supply cord serves as the power disconnect for
the IQ plus 2100. The power outlet supplying the
indicator must be installed near the unit and be
easily accessible

Ensure power to the indicator is disconnected, then
remove the screws that hold the backplate to the
enclosure body, then lift the backplate away from the
enclosure and set it aside.

2.2 Cable Connections

The IQ plus 210 provides three cord grips for cabling
into the indicator: two for the power cord and load cell
cabling, the third for communications and digital input
cables. The free cord grip comes with a plug installed to
prevent moisture from entering the enclosure. If your
application requires serial communication or digital
input cabling, remove the plug and install cables as
described in Sections 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 on page 5.

Before opening the unit, ensure the
power cord is disconnected from the
power outlet.

•Route cables through cord grips and grounding
clamps to determine cable lengths required to
reach cable connectors. Mark cables to remove
insulation and shield as described below:

•For cables with foil shielding, strip insulation
and foil from the cable half an inch (15 mm)
past the grounding clamp (see Figure 2-1). Fold
the foil shield back on the cable where the cable
passes through the clamp. Ensure silver
(conductive) side of foil is turned outward for
contact with the grounding clamp.

•For cables with braided shielding, strip cable
insulation and braided shield from a point just
past the grounding clamp. Strip another half
inch (15 mm) of insulation only to expose the
braid where the cable passes through the clamp
(see Figure 2-1).

IMPOR

•
yellow shield wire 3/4" past the grounding
clamp. Fold wire back and secure between the
cable and clamp. Shield wire function is
provided by contact between the cable shield
and the grounding clamp.

•Route stripped cables through cord grips and
clamps. Ensure shields contact grounding clamps
as shown in Figure 2-1. Tighten grounding clamp
nuts.

• Finish installation using cable mounts and ties to
secure cables inside of indicator enclosure.

For load cell cables, strip the

2.2.1 Cable Grounding

Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the
cord grips should be grounded against the indicator
enclosure. Do the following to ground shielded cables:

•Use the lockwashers, clamps, and kep nuts
provided in the parts kit to install grounding
clamps on the studs adjacent to the cord grips.
Install grounding clamps only for cord grips that
will be used; do not tighten nuts.

2.2.2 Load Cells

Wire the load cell cable to connector J5 as shown in
Table 2-1. If using 6-wire load cell cable (with sense
wires), remove jumpers JP1 and JP2 (see Figure 2-2).
For 4-wire installation, leave jumpers JP1 and JP2 on.

NOTE: All models come with ten feet of color-coded

load cell cable. Do not cut this cable! The load cell is
temperature-compensated for an exact cable length of
ten feet. Cutting the load cell cable voids the load cell
warranty.

When connections are complete, use two cable ties to
secure the load cell cable to the inside of the enclosure.

2.2.3 Setting the Load Cell Compensation Jumper

The load cell compensation jumper (above the

ZERO

button location on the CPU board; see Figure 2-2) must
be set for the type of load cell connected to the
indicator:

•For load cells with balanced bridges, set the
jumper in the OFF position. Balanced load cells
include the RL1040, RL1250, RL1260, RL1380,
and RL1385.

•For load cells with unbalanced bridges, follow the
procedure below to determine the correct jumper
position. Examples of unbalanced cells include
the RL1042 and RL1010.

To determine the correct jumper position for
unbalanced cells, do the following;

1. Disconnect load cell from indicator.

2. Use an ohmmeter to measure +EXC to +SIG and
+EXC to –SIG. Measured values between the
excitation line and each of the signal lines should

Ω

be within 2–3

.

3. Next, measure –EXC to +SIG and –EXC to
–SIG. Measured values between the excitation
line and each of the signal lines should be within

Ω

.

2–3

≥

4. If the +EXC measurements (step 2) are

5%
larger than the –EXC measurements (step 3), set
the compensation jumper in the ON position. If
the +EXC measurements are < 5% greater (or are
less) than the –EXC measurements, set the
jumper in the OFF position.

3.0 Configuration

To configure the IQ plus 210 indicator, the indicator
must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is
accessed by removing the large fillister head screw on
the enclosure backplate. Insert a screwdriver into the
access hole and press the switch to enter setup mode.

When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word

CONFIG is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu is

the first of the main menus used to configure the
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
given in Section 3.2. When configuration is complete,
press the setup switch again to exit setup mode, then
replace the setup switch access screw.

3.1 Configuration Methods

The IQ plus 210 indicator can be configured by using
the front panel buttons to navigate through a series of
configuration menus or by sending commands or
configuration data to the EDP port. Configuration using
the menus is described in Section 3.1.3.

Configuration using the EDP port can be accomplished
using either the EDP command set described in

Section 5.0 or Version 2.3 or later of the Revolution
configuration utility .

3.1.1 Revolution Configuration

The Revolution configuration utility provides the
preferred method for configuring the IQ plus 210
indicator. Re v olution runs on a personal computer to set
configuration parameters for the indicator. When
Revolution configuration is complete, configuration
data is downloaded to the indicator.

To use Rev olution, do the following:

1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible per­sonal computer running Windows

Windows 95. Minimum system requirements
are 8MB of extended memory and at least
5MB of available hard disk space.

2. With both indicator and PC powered off,
connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins
on the indicator EDP port.

3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the
setup switch to place the indicator in setup
mode.

4. Start the Revolution program.

Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the Revolution
configuration displays.

Revolution provides online help for each of its
configuration displays. Parameter descriptions provided
in this manual for front panel configuration can also be
used when configuring the indicator using Revolution:
the interface is different, but the parameters set are the
same.

™

3.1.2 EDP Command Configuration

The EDP command set can be used to configure the IQ
plus 210 indicator using a personal computer, terminal,
or remote keyboard. Like Revolution, EDP command
configuration sends commands to the indicator serial
port; unlike Revolution, EDP commands can be sent
using any external device capable of sending ASCII
characters over a serial connection.

EDP commands duplicate the functions available using
the indicator front panel and provide some functions
not otherwise available. EDP commands can be used to
simulate pressing front panel buttons, to configure the
indicator, or to dump lists of parameter settings. See
Section 5.0 on page 22 for more information about
using the EDP command set.

®

3.11 or

Revolution supports both uploading and downloading
of indicator configuration data. This capability allows
configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator,
edited, then downloaded to another.

The front panel buttons are used to navigate through the
menus in setup mode (see Figure 3-2). The

UNITS

(RIGHT) button scrolls right (horizontally) on the same
menu level; the

ZERO (ENTER) button moves down

(vertically) to different menu levels and serves as an
Enter key for selecting parameter values within the
menus.

Most of the configuration menus have three or four
levels. Figure 3-3 shows the general structure of the IQ
plus 210 configuration menus. Note the following:

• On the first (main) menu level, press RIGHT to scroll
through the menus. Pressing RIGHT from the VERS
menu wraps around to the CONFIG menu. Press
ENTER from any of the main menus to move down
to the first parameter for that menu.

•On the middle (parameter) menu levels, press

RIGHT to scroll through the parameter prompts

for the menu. When the last parameter is
displayed, pressing RIGHT returns to the level
above. Press ENTER from any parameter prompt

to move down to the values prompts for that
parameter.

•On the bottom (parameter value) menu level,

RIGHT to scroll through the values for the

press
parameter. Pressing RIGHT from the last value
wraps around to first value. Press ENTER to
select the value and return to the parameter
prompt.

5.0 EDP Commands

The IQ plus 210 indicator can be controlled by a
personal computer or remote keyboard connected to the
indicator serial port. Control is provided by a set of
EDP commands that can simulate front panel key press
functions, display and change setup parameters, and
perform reporting functions. The EDP port provides the
capability to print configuration data or to save that data
to an attached personal computer. This section
describes the EDP command set and procedures for
saving and transferring data using the serial port.

The EDP command set can be divided into five groups:
key press commands, reporting commands, the
RESETCONFIGURATION special function
command, parameter setting commands, and transmit
weight data commands.

When the indicator processes an EDP command, it
responds with the message
verifies that the command was received and has been
executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be
executed, the indicator responds with

The following sections list the commands and
command syntax used for each of these groups.

5.1.1 Key Press Commands

Key press EDP commands (see Table 5-1) simulate
pressing the buttons on the front panel of the indicator.

status. See Section 6.2 on page 26 for
more information.

Table 5-2. EDP Reporting Commands

The RESETCONFIGURATION command can be used
to restore all configuration parameters to their default
values.

This command is equivalent to using the RESET
function on the DEFLT menu.

NOTE: All load cell calibration settings are lost when the

RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.

5.1.4 Parameter Setting Commands

Parameter setting commands allow you to display or
change the current value for a particular configuration
parameter (Tables 5-3 through 5-8).

Current configuration parameter settings can be
displayed in either setup mode or normal mode using
the following syntax:

command<ENTER>

Most parameter values only can be changed in setup
mode. Use the following command syntax when
changing parameter values:

command=value<ENTER>

where value is a number or a parameter value. Use no
spaces before or after the equal (=) sign. If you type an
incorrect command or value, the display reads

??.

Changes to the parameters are saved as they are entered
but typically do not take effect until you exit setup
mode.

For example, to set the motion band parameter to 5,
type the following:

MOTBAND=5D<ENTER>

5.2 Saving and Transferring Data

Connecting a personal computer to the IQ plus 210
EDP port allows you to save indicator configuration
data to the PC or to download configuration data from
the PC to an indicator. The following sections describe
the procedures for these save and transfer operations.

5.2.1 Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer

Configuration data can be saved to a personal computer
connected to the EDP port. The PC must be running a

communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS
See Section 2.3.3 on page 5 for information about serial
communications wiring and EDP port pin assignments.

When configuring the indicator, ensure that the values
set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on the SERIAL
menu match the baud rate, bits, and parity settings
configured for the serial port on the PC.

To save all configuration data, send the DUMPALL
EDP command to the indicator. The IQ plus 210
responds by sending all configuration parameters to the
PC as ASCII-formatted te xt.

5.2.2 Downloading Configuration Data from PC to
Indicator

Configuration data saved on a PC or floppy disk can be
downloaded from the PC to an indicator. This
procedure is useful when a number of indicators with
similar configurations are set up or when an indicator is
replaced.

To download configuration data, connect the PC to the
EDP port as described in Section 5.2.1. Place the

®

.

indicator in setup mode and use the PC
communications software to send the saved
configuration data to the indicator. When transfer is
complete, calibrate the indicator as described in
Section 4.0 on page 20.

NOTES:

•Calibration settings are included in the
configuration data downloaded to the indicator.
If the receiving indicator is a direct replacement
for another IQ plus 210 and the attached scale is
not changed, recalibration is not required.

•When downloading configurations that include
changed serial communications settings, edit the
data file to place the serial communications
changes at the end of the file. Communication
between the PC and indicator will be lost once
the indicator receives settings for baud rate
(BAUD parameter) or data bits and parity (BITS
parameter) that do not match those configured
for the PC.

6.1 Error Messages

The IQ plus 210 indicator provides a number of error messages. When an error occurs, the message is sho wn on the
indicator LED display . Error conditions can also be check ed remotely by using the XE EDP command as described
in Section 6.1.2.

Error Message Description Solution

Table 6-1. IQ plus 210 Error Messages

6.1.1 Displayed Error Messages

The IQ plus 210 provides a number of front panel error
messages to assist in problem diagnosis. Table 6-1 lists
these messages and their meanings.

6.1.2 Using the XE EDP Command

The XE EDP command can be used to remotely query
the IQ plus 210 for the error conditions shown on the
front panel. The XE command returns two 5-digit
numbers in the format:

xxxxx yyyyy

where xxxxx contains a decimal representation of any
existing error conditions as described in Table 6-2.

If more than one error condition exists, the number
returned is the sum of the values representing the error
conditions. For example, if the XE command returns
the number 528, this value represents the sum of an
A/D physical error (512) and an A/D calibration
checksum error (16).

The second number returned (

yyyyy) uses the same bit

assignments as shown in Table 6-2 to indicate whether
the test for the error condition was run. For example,
the value

yyyyy = 51807 represents the decimal

equivalent of the binary value 1100 1110 0111 1111.
Using the bit assignments in Table 6-2, this value
indicates all tests were run.

6.2 Status Messages

Two EDP commands, P and ZZ, can be used to provide
status about the indicator. These commands are
described in the following sections.

6.2.1 Using the P EDP Command

The P EDP command returns the current displayed
weight value to the EDP port. If the indicator is in an
underrange or overload condition, the weight value is
replaced with

6.2.2 Using the ZZ EDP Command

The ZZ EDP command can be used to remotely query
which annunciators are currently displayed on the
indicator front panel. The ZZ command returns the
currently displayed weight and a decimal number
representing the LED annunciators currently lit. The
format of the returned data is:

wwwwww zzz

where wwwwww is the current displayed weight, zzz is the
annunciator status value (see Table 6-3). If more than
one annunciator is lit, the second number returned is the
sum of the values representing the activ e annunciators.

&&&&&& (overload) or :::::: (underrange).

For example, if the annunciator status v alue returned on
the ZZ command is 136, the center of zero and lb
annunciators are lit: 136 represents the sum of the
values for the center of zero annunciator (128) and the
lb annunciator (8).
